THE LONDON 'JOURNALS: DAILY Extracts from Ihe 11<»-ning Papers, Feb. 13,1826. LTHE alms.] The adjournment of the debate on the currency of the kingdom allows of our saying a few words on the subject,by way of conveying to legislators the sentiments of the people, at the conclusion of the first stage of the business. When it is con sidered that the first total suspension of Bank paments in cash was but for the short period of thirteen weeks, and that it was afterwards pro tracted for nearly a quarter of a century, it IS impossible but that considerable distrust must be both felt and expressed respecting the cer tainty of the final recut of this smaller paper fry, the one and two pound country notes, when the very act for their suppression begins by allowing of their continuance for three years. The circu lation of these notes is allowed on all hands to be an evil in itself, and the cause of many other evils ; yet it is to be endured, according to Mr. B.obinsott's proposition, till February, 1829. The very act of tracing the figures of so distant a date, almost makes the hand tremble.' As to the other measures of joint-stock banks and branch banks, we really take no ac couk of them. We have a strong suspicion that those measures will never take place. If they be established, they will, we should fear, have the very mischievous effects of forcing more paper into circplation, of increasing the price of ell the commodities and necessaries of life, and of throwing us to a still greater distance behind our neighbours in the security of the circulating medium. Let the nation adhere rigorously to the recall of the petty country notes r and, if possible, shorterfthe proposed duration of their existence, and much will be etrected. We at first pressed, as an additional measure, the demand of deposits of security from country bankers. Such a plan would no doubt be useful, but might perhaps bear too heavily at present .on those to whom it is meant to apply. It must he hbserved, also, that the one and two pound notes are really Arced 'upon the bumble awl laborious classes of society. They have no option but to take them ; and when those who issue them (ail, then their possessors are thrown into a'state of starve-' Con: whereas the more elevated persons into whose hands notes of live pounds and upwards come, are more capable of judging of the solvency • of the bank from which they emanate ; they can choose between rival establishments, and must therefore impute some blame to themielves if they finally suffer loss from a bankruptcy. The recall of the one and two pound notes, therefore, we repeat it, is the measure which should be above all things pressed to a conclusion ; and we confess, that in the midst of the desp l air which we feel at seeing the period of their existence str long protracted, sve derive some hope and com fort from that prompt but illegal act, of Govern. ment, iu prohibiting at once the issuer of more stamps for such notes. The number of them, therefore, which cannot be increased by fresh issues, must be diminished by bankruptcies, by wear and tear, and by the provision which, what ever may be the day of their final departure, it will be necessary to make for that time. One might suppose, if thetas were any consistency in the Members of Government, that they who have talked so lonaly of the propriety of a large peace establishment in soldiers of every kind, would likewise see the necessity of obtaining and keep. log up a large peace establishment of metallic currency ; or to what' will Bank paper sink. in , crase a war should break out ? LblOnNlng roar.) Tits evening the discussion of the measures proposed by his Majesty's Ministers for the he. provement of our systems of banking end cur rency will be resumed in the house of Commons. In looking back to the debut which took place on Friday, we must be excused if we say, that the proposed measures were not, in our opinion, treated with perfect fairoess.n An error, which it won hl require great charity indeed to describe otherwise than perverse, seems to have pervaded every speech delivered in opposition to them— the error, we mean, of supposing that they hid beton devised with the view of administering direct anti immediate relief to existing embarrassments. No such intention, it is quite manifest, ever entered into the mind of Administration ;--and, in our view of the subject, it is not one Of the least merits of the measures proposed by them, dint they at once put an' end to any expeete. tion that might hoe been entertained of the direek interference of Government to provide adequate remedy for a distress, which, however *e may deplore its existence, we cannot hut per ceive to be retributive and remedial—the natu• rel retribution and the appropriate remedy to the vices and excesses of commercial specolation. All sound general principle forbids such interfe rence. At a period of war, or of internal corn. motion, linked, When the necessary operations of,Government itself may have been a princi. pal, cause of the distress, defeating as they often do the most legitimate vnterprixes, and baffling the most prudent ortil ,accurate lotions of individuals, and , when„the prolonga tion of distress might impart a new strength or Inspire a bolder audacity to tilts ellorta of the foreign or domestic for—in such circumstances as those it may often become the duty of Government to interpose its influence, and ' sources in the affairs of Commerce. These are special cases or exec ptitm , cud the conduet which rusty ha ve bee n adopted on such occasions, how. ever at variance with time letter, is in no degree contrary to the spirit or subversive of the oath°. city' of the general 11w. If general principles are not to govern our conduct at a moment of univer. sal tranquillity, they are (as was well argued by the Chancellor of the Exchequer "Ton another part of tine subject) utterly worthless. They are thingamerely to talk a bout- - -fit point a moral or adorer a talc," but never to possess the least influence upon the real business of life. :vertu the practical men, as they are called, render a sort of indirect homage to the authority of gene sal principles on this subject, by not venturing to suggest in plain terms any departure from them. They reiterate in a thousand forms,the objection to the measures of Ministers, that they do not go directly to the mitigation of existing dis tress. They carp and carp—they hint and hint but not one of them has yet come forth with a straight forward and manly proposal for an issue of Exchequer Bills, the proceeds to be ap plied to the relief of Merchants and Traders, or for any measure tending to an immediate and rapid increase of the currency, or in short for the interference of Government in any distinct mode. That they wish such interference—that they would hail with acclamations any proposal of such interference coming from Ministers, is we think manifest from their whole language and manner. That they abstain from openly declar ing their wish, is the highest tribute they can pay to the soundness and validity of the general principle opposed to its accomplishment ; nor can the entertainment of this desire be thought by any means discreditable to them. They behold the tide of ruin engulph in succession the fortunes of men with whom they are intimately connected— however high above the reach of the wave, they are themselves perpetually annoyed by the spray. Their regard to sound principles of general po licy must therefore at this moment be superseded by an intense and feverish sympathy for the fate of individuals, whilst the general and paramount welfare of the State nkust in their minds be merged in the support of staggering credit and the redemption of the incipient insolv ency. [NEW TIMES.] By an Official Documen,t, in another part of our Paper, the number of Country Bank Notes issued in the last six years will be seen. An exa mination of this statement will present some cu• rious results. in.the first place, the total amount of Country Bank Paper in Great Britain in creased from 3,493,9011. in 1820 ; to 8,755,3071. in 1825. But a still more remarkable•fact ap pears, by comparing the small notes with the greater in ouch year, thus -13 and £2 Notes. Larger Notes. Total. 1820—X1,728,1iu; £1,765,715 - £1,493,901 1021— 2,251,933 - 2,183,565 - 4,438,548 1022 1,912,359 - 2,380,805 - 4,293,164 1823 2,019,970 . 2,459,470 - 4078,449 1824 2,544,049 - 4,170,220 - 6,724,069 1825 3,251,499 - 5,503,800 - 0,755,307 In 1820 the larger notes were about equal to the smaller, and in 1821 they were even less in amount ; but. in 1825, when the smaller notes were,3,251,401., the larger wile 5,503,8081. — These circumstances lead to a necessary infer ence, that the increase of the country bank notes was not so much wanted for the local retail cir culation, which is chiefly effected_by one-pound notes, as it was required by persons concerned in' wholesale speculations, who would readily take the sums they required. hi large notes, the stamps on which are not nearly so expen sive as those on the small notes. Much dif ference of opinion exists as to the durability of the notes, and consequently as to the quantity in circulation at any given time, some people contending that time Notes on en average last three years, others only one year, and others seven. This may be perhaps accounted for by considering the different, habits of the people among whom the Notes circulate, as well as the different manner in which the Notes themselves are fabricated. The Scotch Notes in general are impressed,on a substantial paper almost acitrong as parchment, while some of the English. Banks use a paper remarkably , fine and thin. Again, the Notes which circulate in the Coal coun tries and at. some Seaports, are so much soiled by the hands though which they pass, that in a few months they become almost illegible, whereas, in the agricultural districts, notes of a similar fabrication will last clean and legible three or four times as long. The principal reason which induced the Bank of Englatid some years ago to discontinue the issue of Small Notes, was the great trouble and ex. pence which they occasioned : the same motive has operated with many Country Bankers ; for it h to be remembered, that the Stamp itself absorbs a large part of tire, interest of the Notes; and we know many Country Bankers who for some time past have actually declined to avail themselves of the power which* they legally possess of issuing One and Two Pound Notes. [MORNING WRAY:D.] ,The Chancellor of the Exchequer's project, on which the resumed debate takes place to'-night, is, as Mr. Baring very aptly designates it, " milk.aind-water, measure." Supposing the circu lation of the small notes of country b an k er s t o be an evil, and therefore Ie ~practico which ought to b© got rid of, is it not almost a mockery for a Minister to come down to the House and pro pose that it shall lust but three years longer ? Yet this is the real sum and substance of Mr. Robinson's measure. It is true that his phut includes a provision that no more new notes of this description shall be issued ; but that is only the fair and necessary prelude to their future ex tinction, and does nut beer at all upon the exist» ing inconvenience, if it'be such, of those whiclit are now.alluat. Besides, this may be more than counteracted by bankers Wigging again into cir culation the , 1100 1 11 which they have already with. drawn--which, lie it remembered, aro not can celled like those of the Bank of England, but are generally circulated as long as the rags of which they are composed will hung together. Wc , have uniformly been of t ) Pini°o that t he ex ;sting state, of things, lamentable as it is, is one which, in the 'min, must be left to cure itself ; and that. Parliament can do very little, if any thing, towards remedying it. ( gift~ nEeilEsErcrATlvil It was will) great pleasure that we heard the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the other night, repelling with so much warmth the imputation of " new theories,” and claiming credit with the House for returning" in ono important matter to" the old syst , qti under which this country flow rished for itge , , ;" and gladly would we believe that certain new theories" were indeed dis missed, and a certain " old system" ,once more embraced and adher e d t o i n goo d earnest.— The fundamental truths laid down by the Political Economists cannot be disputed; but they are only truths on a tabula rasa—truths, supposing all na tions were to act reciprocally, and we were not fettered by our enormous National Debt. 'When acted upon by England alone, these truths be come destructive falsehoods ; and, , such as wipe- Hence brings them, one by one, to the test, we shall find thorn to be. If the free-trade system be right, it ought to have been tried as a system. The Corn trade, the Sugar trade, the Money trade—all should have been thrown open at once. But granting the experiment were tried upon the really grand scale—and granting fur ther, that it Were tried with Success, we should very much like to hear. in what it could termi nate, except the conversion of Great Britain into one disgusting manufactory, and rendering its inhabitants intent only on- the production of ca lico. and corduroy ? No state ought ever to en courage a population larger than it can support with the produce of its own soil ; and any in crease to a considerable extent beyond that is a great and positive evil. The Landholders cease to exert a wholesome influence—the Monied In terest takes the exclusive lead civil dissension, famine, or a foreign enemy, sets parties at vari ance; and, after a turbulent anarchy conse quent on the prevalence of democratical feelings, the wretched nation falls to pieces ! • • rntirrtsn'raEss.J The Trench morning papers of Friday, and the Dail(' of Saturday, arrived last night. - If we may credit the authority of the Constitutionnei, the affairs of Russia are in a most unsatisfactory state, and the tranquillity of Nicholas's reign appears very problematical. The Etude, how ever, treats these statements of its contemporary, and we should incline to think correctly, as mere fabrications. We have at least no doubt that the assertions of this opposition Parisian Journal are very much' beyond tltp. fltcts, if not utterly desti tute of truth. It ,- .Oppears by these Journals that the debate in the - Chamber of Deputies upon the Address in answer to the King's Speech we's conducted with considerable ani mation, if not with acrimony, and that the eloquence of Messrs. Betirdonnaye, Benjamin Constant, and General Sebastiani, An far pre vailed as to, prevent M. Villele, with all his address, from carrying the question in the first sittint , upon it. Although the Minister twice ascended the tribune, he cO not prevent the ladjournment of the debate, which was to be re ' sunned on Saturday. The discourse addressed to his Majesty by M. Dambray, Chancellor of France, begins by alluding to the decease of the Emperor Alexander, and testifies the share which the Peers of France take in the profound afflic tion with which his Majesty was overwhelmed by the premature death of So magnanimous an ally, and adverts'next to the consoli;tg assurances given by all the reigning Monarchs of the conti nuance-of their friendly dispositions, and that nothing would disturb the harmony at present established. • Nor. comae, Lenore:l I..est night we received Ilambrugh Papers to the 3d, Dutch Papers to the Bth, and. Brussels to the 11th lost. The Dutch Papers aro' occopied exclusively with affairs of Jaye, which are.said to have taken a turn decidedly favourable. The intelligence from that island is to the Ist of Oc. tober last, at which dattwn are told there was . rt prospect of the insurrection being speedily put down. The following are the latest operatieas : On the 14th of September, General Van Geen had dispersed that 'part of the insurgents who had again penetrated into the district of Datriak..— Later movements by the Dutch troops had cleared all parts of the territory under the immediate jurisdiction of the Colonial Government ; and on the 24th of the same month Lieutenant General De Hock had approached Klatter, on his march to the general rendezvous of the insurgents. His force consisted of 8,000 men, of whom 2,000 were regulars; and the account of the result of this movement was every moment expected, when the vessel (the Juliano) by which those particulars have been received, left Bainvii. The Hamburg') Papers contain extracts front the .Sl. Petersburgh Journal from the 14th to the 24th ultimo, but they merely mention the arrive;[; .'of the Prince of Orange in that capital on the day before, and that of the Grand Doke of Mecklenburgh Schive. rig three days previously ; both of whom, it is well known, are brothers in law to the reigning Emperor. ' This, with an account of the Empress Elizabeth's health (who, we are glad to 'bear; has bonito the shock of the removal of the mor. tal remains of her late (n stand from Taganrog better than was expected), is the whole of the n ews ; and though this reserve looks rather sus. picious at such a crisis in the affairs of that great empire, it shows at least that nothing had occurred in the interval, to disturb th e tranquillity at least of the capital. It also seems to prove that no accounts of a' very unfavour.. able character had been received from any other quarter, as it would not ber prudent to suppress them altogether at such a moment. We may therefore pretty safely conclude, that no new dangerous movement had taken place amongst the military ; and that, if tliscootent still prevailed in the ranks of that body .to an alarming extent, no explosion.,. of it had at, least . taken place.. If there was no disaster to relate, there was also nothing agreeable to communicate ; for if th ere had been ally, it would have been eagerly made known by the proper Authorities, in order to b tr e a e t ti tq e u x il t i : z e o ssi t y t e te ly pu a l g t recent occurre n ce s . i l t ic ate tr b n y d, whiclt must haw, ( 1 1ORNINO :We observed, nt,t Saturday,that it appeared to 'us that Mr. iluskisson had satisfactorily shown in C tl ; l o e un d t i r7 1 ra n kers ls l 3i : of the pow(r ridkln a ig t i o ll' i s sile that the giving small notes, sinte interests o f o f this, was highly prpjudi c i a l' to the bethe country. Admitting. that in acountry t possessed of abundance of capital, overtrading and wild speculation would occasionally produce calamitous results, wit:er nay des c riPlitni ,f currency, there cats be little doubt that the power of issuing small notes by Country 13ankers will hardly be used for the purpose of clerking the spirit of speculation ; and there is one evil i ns p . . parably connected with the issue of small notes, of so fearful a character, that the security from it can hardly be purchased at too great a sami fice,—we mean the panic produced by the fai lure of a few of the Country Banks, whose notes are extensively circulated among the lower or ders. It was observed truly by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that 64 when, from the effect of over-speculation or over-issues, the first person to press forward and secure his property %vas the poor man. He hears of distrust—he hears - of failures ; and was it not natural, that he who had invested his little all—to him of an import ance, of which it would not be easy to form a con. ception—shall he the first to press forward for the payment of his demands—the first to guard against cousequences which,in his state, would be absolute ruin—that very anxiety on the part of the poor man necessarily commenced a run. Example was contagious. Then came the holder of the five or ten pound note. Hs says to himself, what is the meaning of all this ? there must be something rotten ; must take care of myself while I may. ife follows. the torrent ; he increases the dif- . ficulty ; he adds to the distrust; and thus they might trace the progress of a great pot- Alm of the late disastrous events. The man, who might have lain by—who felt none of the alarm—who did not entertain the least doubt of the solidity or security of his Banker—who was not agitated or affected by the busy rumours or babbling of the day, became influenced by the contagion of example ; and while his supe rior information and more extended knowledge might prevent him from being the first to feel the distrust of credit, yet in the end he became unable to resist the temptation of grasping at that which farther forbearance might endanger." This, it tippears to us, is a faithful delineation of the manner in which the circulation of small notes operates in producing a panic, by which tilti• mutely the whole banking and commercial world may be shaken to its very foundations.
